The following papers stand-alone and those who wish to review the email debate can access the CHA site archive.

The second paper, entitled Why the Fuss About Terminology? , desribes why we need to have a full set of equivalents for English terms that are related to the Chinese, and how failure to attend to terminological needs has led to a loss of information in the translation process.
